TRAIN THE WAY YOU TREAT

Doctors, nurses, paramedics, corpsmen – we are all ordinary people - called to do extraordinary things on a regular basis. We provide care for real people in vulnerable, potentially dangerous conditions. In addition to skills competence, we need to integrate communication skills and situational awareness, including the influence of human factors, as they play a major role in patient and provider safety.

ReaLifeSim products, created by clinical educators, are designed to help students develop competency in all these areas. The end goals - clinician competence & confidence and improved patient care, safety, and satisfaction.

ReaLifeSim - competence focused products... great stuff! Great products recommended to me initially by Chris Kroboth at iSimulate and the assessor team at the Clinical Challenge EMS World. 

— David Halliwell, MSc-McPara, Lifecast Body Sim

HELPING TO SUSPEND DISBELIEF

PREPARE NEW CLINICIANS TO FUNCTION IN THE REAL WORLD

ReaLifeSim provides realistic practice with the pressure of working on real people in clinically challenging situations. With real-life realism, ReaLifeSim provides Performance Under Pressure options for your training needs.

Books, time in the classroom, and lab time provide essential knowledge and good practice. But, practicing in a realistic environment is different. The human-centered wearable design of ReaLifeSim products helps emphasize the influence of human factors while performing under pressure, by replicating real-life clinical skills training.

Learners safely practice hands-on clinical skills working with a live person, relating to them as they would in a real-life situation, promoting an emotional connection and heightened sense of “presence” for situational awareness. After working with ReaLifeSim, learners and providers report improved clinical competency, more clear communication skills, increased confidence, and deeper empathy - which contribute to reduced preventable medical errors, reduced time to treatment, and minimized human factor mishaps.

Learners benefit from the realistic simulated practice to develop, maintain, and test their IV skills under the pressure of working with real people in a variety of challenging situations.

ReaLifeSim helps our students experience a more realistic situation and become more confident in IV skills.

— C. Cummings, RN, EdD, Accelerated Program Director, UNF

It was a hot day and the crews were tired. They’d been crawling through rubble for hours and tonight was their crucible. Having simulation tools like ReaLifeSim IV Trainers was extremely helpful. They added extra stimulus during the intense scenario. I’d use them again for sure!

Clinical simulation training - IV trainer for vascular access practice. Learners benefit from working with live people, interacting with them as in a "real world" situation, to develop competence and confidence in hands-on skills and communication skills, to provide their best care.

Develop and test IV start skills under pressure while working with a live person! Simulated skin provides a realistic feel and "pop" with catheter/needle insertion. Simulated vessels feel like they're rolling and "pop" at cannulation. Artificial blood in a flashback with proper vessel cannulation.

ReaLifeSim adds a missing element of realism to SPs and manikins in our scenarios.

ReaLifeSim is a great tool for nurses to improve their skills to start a peripheral IV. Feels realistic, helping to quickly build skills and confidence.

— S. Croegaert, RN, Emergency Response Team, HCA Hospital

The students really loved working with and wearing ReaLifeSim. I was pleased to see the blood return was more realistic than a simulation arm and I like that we can use it to practice giving medications.

COMPETENCY BASED LEARNING

Benefit #1:Practice - Learners and providers benefit from repeated practice with wearable ReaLifeSim hybrid IV trainers as they safely interact with and treat their “patients” in any environment, from classroom to austere. They practice hands-on techniques and interpersonal communication, contributing to the most realistic clinical simulation possible.

Benefit #2:Learning - Learners and providers are empowered to self and peer assess, promoting active involvement in their learning process.

Benefit #3: Assessing & Objective Measures - ReaLifeSim App records, saves, and stores individual hands-on skills performance & interpersonal communication skills performance. Learners AND instructors or facilitators can review and evaluate recorded skills performance indicating IV insertion attempts that have gone below the level of the vessel causing potential patient injury. Provider-patient interactions are also recorded for review and evaluation. This RLSimApp is accessed using Apple and Android mobile devices and it is NOT a cumbersome Audio-Video system! Real-time objective & subjective performance data with RLSimApp.

Benefit #4:Enhancing Equipment - ReaLifeSim also adds new life and enhanced function to your existing lab equipment when placed on high and low fidelity manikins or simulators to further enhance their realism and sustainability.

Benefit #5:Budget Saving - ReaLifeSim products are accessible to any person, any time, any where and most cost less than the average clinical textbook!

Telemedicine & Developing Countries

FOCUS ON SOCIAL IMPACT

SOCIAL IMPACT - We're committed to improving the delivery of healthcare and veterinary medicine worldwide. How will we accomplish this? We will do this by adding affordable wearable simulation solutions to improve clinical education and training AND by making these efficient experiences to train the way they treat accessible to any one, any time, any where.

There is an ancient proverb that says that if you give a man a fish, he will eat today, but teach a man to fish and he will eat forever. Our ReaLifeSim IV trainers provide a means to inexpensively and comprehensively teach and assess clinical skills to improve health and wellness worldwide during our lifetime and for future generations.

Our Team focuses on the essential element of direct person-to-person healthcare delivery in remote and rural areas. ReaLifeSim products provide safe and affordable opportunities to practice clinical hands-on skills to draw blood and start an IV. ReaLifeSim products help new learners, healthcare providers, and local task-sharers develop and maintain clinical competence to provide their best care.

There’s even an option to work with expert guidance from a professional that may be in a different physical/geographic location, similar to telemedicine, with four languages available on screen: English, French, German, and Spanish.
